Two notes. That’s all it takes to recognize the voice of Michael McDonald. Distinctive and soulful, it is one of the most yearningly emotive instruments of our times. To this add formidable songwriting and keyboard skills, and you have an artist who has been a singular musical presence for four decades. From ‘70s-era Doobie Brothers classics such as “What A Fool Believes” and solo hits like “I Keep Forgettin’” through two highly-acclaimed Motown covers albums and recent genre-busting guest spots with alternative buzz bands Grizzly Bear and Holy Ghost, the five-time Grammy-winning McDonald is that rare thing in contemporary pop – an artist whose work is both timeless and ever-evolving.

David Simon is a Baltimore-based journalist, author and television producer. The nonfiction books he wrote while a reporter with The Baltimore Sun — Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets and The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood — became the basis for the NBC drama "Homicide" and the HBO miniseries "The Corner." "The Wire," a subsequent HBO drama, aired for five seasons from 2002 to 2008, and depicted a dystopic American city contending with a fraudulent drug war, the loss of its industrial base, political and educational systems incapable of reform, and a media culture oblivious to all of the above. The fourth and final season of Simon's latest series, "Treme," about musicians in post-Katrina New Orleans, will air later in 2013. Simon also does prose work for The New Yorker, Esquire and The Washington Post, among other publications.
